Although the figures offered no articulation, the sculpts were really amazing!

Recently Elias painted the Wan Sandage that we received to display with his podracer collection. Elias' paintwork was masterfully applied and he added another great podracer to his Phantom Menace collection. Stay tuned for more podracers throughout the month of March!

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 04:51:20 GMTEphant Mon is one of my favorite characters and so one of my favorite figures too. I've always liked the big, bulky aliens. So when one of my other favorite aliens was made into a figure, Hermi Odle, and had soft goods I started to wish Ephant Mon did too. So I finally got around to making that wish into a reality.

It wasn't too difficult. The head and hood are too separate pieces so I removed them and just replaced the head as seen in the pic below. I found some fabric samples at Walmart that matched him perfectly. I washed the cloth to take out some of the stiffness and then cut it to fit the figure. The sleeves are separate pieces and since I can't sew I just tucked the sleeves around the arms and under the shoulder joints. (I removed the arms to make this easier.) I soaked the cloak in water so I could form it to the figure then put hair spray on it so it would retain it's shape after it dried. And voilą!

Tue, 24 Feb 2015 01:18:30 GMTThis is just a quick modification that you can make to Zeb's Bo-Rifle if you have a drill, krazy glue, and some small rare earth magnets on hand. Just drill two small holes in to the triangles on the back of the Zeb action figure and two more into Zeb's Bo-Rifle and the weapon will attach to his back just like in the show. I used an X-acto knife to adjust the weapon so it is positioned like it is when it is closed. I just cut off the trigger and handle and then glued them into the reconfigured location. It should take you less than thirty minutes to perform this modification.

Mon, 23 Feb 2015 18:04:03 GMTIt's been a long time since I've posted my custom work in these threads. I've been active with projects, but haven't taken the time to post anything up. Also involved with a custom Bobe Fett-themed motorcycle that is taking far longer than it should.

Anyway, I had an extra Jakks 31" 501st Clone and thought I'd take a go at making it into a dynamic looking statue instead of a giant figure with poor articulation and a not so great paint job.

The armored parts were all cut from the figure and hollowed out. Everything was repainted with a black layer underneath, so that I could scratch through the white layers to give realistic weathering/battle damage. The cannon is scratch built out of a number of different items I had laying around the house and some wood. I don't think I actually bought any items to make this work except for JB Weld (to hold the skeleton together), foam to pad the body parts and fabric for the body suit.

I was really hoping when I saw the Sandtrooper shown at NY Toy Fair, that it was going to be a 31" version as well, but that was not the case. Who knows... I may still decide to purchase an extra Stormy and give a Sandtrooper a thought. It just means fabing a backpack in much smaller scale than the life-size one I created years ago.

Here are the pics. Critiques are welcome.

Here is a comparison between mine and Sideshows 1:6 scale 501st Deluxe Clone.

And here was something I did as a joke just to tease some people a while back on a local thread, but it didn't seem to work.
